Scotlandville will be without yet another member of its impressive 2012-13 state championship basketball run in the immediate future.

Senior guard Vincent Sanders, one of Hornets' most notable returning players, will undergo surgery Thursday for a torn ACL and MCL and could be out for the season, although an accurate timetable should be more available after the operation, Coach Carlos Sample said.

Sanders and Ezekiel Brown were the lone holdovers from last season's title team's top six players with standouts Tre'Lun Banks (Southern), Brian Bridgewater (LSU), Damian Jones (Vanderbilt) and Jared Sam (Southern) all now beginning their college careers.

"It's one of those unfortunate things," Sample said. "We've just got to put our heads down and work through it. This is when your system gets tested, and I believe we have a good one intact."

Sanders has received some college attention, but no offers yet, and his coach is hopeful he will still get an opportunity to follow his former teammates' paths and play at that next level, if not even getting a chance to play again for his high school squad.
